Someone said on ABC's This Week--

--I think it was Cokie Roberts (paraphrasing): If nothing gets done on guns, it will be all Trump's fault, because the GOP congress-critters don't trust that when he says something, he means it. They could go out on a limb and then he'll change his mind and do a 180 on an issue. So they sit there and do nothing.

We have no leadership coming from the executive branch. We have a lazy geezer watching Fox and Friends and tweeting whatever he hears that sounds good to him.

We are the hope. Our elected officials will only act if we pressure them to. They are too busy running for re-election.

...he behaves as if he is president for his base ONLY. He divides the country and doesn't even pretend to be president of the WHOLE country.
It will take decades to recover from this. 😢

THIS is on them. No morals, integrity, conscience? Someone COULD makes lots of noise if they cared to; sounds like they're being given a pass imo.
